As the first of its kind, battery-free, NFC powered locking system, ECHO is a complete reimagining of what a locking system can achieve, providing a locking solution that is greener and of course, smarter. 

ECHO lock now has branding options available.

Crafted to meet the requirements of bustling transport hubs, workplaces, educational settings, sports & leisure facilities and more, ECHO comes equipped with a host of advanced features all intuitively designed to streamline access management, without compromising on security.

The Green, Battery-Free Alternative to Traditional Smart Locks

With ECHO, you already hold the key to smarter, more efficient access management.

Where traditional smart locks utilise battery power or hard wiring, ECHO harnesses the power of NFC technology, allowing users to lock or unlock the system with a simple tap of their smartphone.

Not only does removing the need for an external power source dramatically reduce energy costs and pricey battery replacements, especially in larger facilities, it also provides a greener alternative thanks to decreased power consumption and erasing battery waste.

Are ECHO Locks Hard to Use?

Absolutely not. With no keys to lose, no codes to remember, and no batteries to replace, ECHO sets a whole new standard in seamless security.

NFC technology enables the ECHO lock to harvest a tiny amount of energy directly from your smartphone. The same technology used for contactless payments, NFC guarantees a secure, reliable connection. The NFC signal, in communication with your smartphone, transmits a secure token to lock or unlock the system, these tokens then deactivate instantly and cannot be reused.

Plus, thanks to its Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) integration, you can rely on government level security as the encryption technology provides high-level protection for every transaction, ensuring your locks stay protected from potential tampering.

Flexible Functionality

ECHO offers unparalleled versatility with its three advanced operating modes, offering tailored solutions to suit a wide range of environments and user requirements.

Public Mode

Designed for short-term, high-traffic use, this mode is perfect for areas like transport hubs, gyms, or sports facilities. It provides seamless, temporary locker access, ensuring users can quickly and easily store their belongings when on the go, without the need for prior registration or complicated processes.

Private Mode

Ideal for environments where individuals require dedicated storage. This mode is perfect for employees, students or long-term facility users, offering locks to be assigned for exclusive, individual use. It ensures a personal and secure storage solution, where users can rely on having their own space whenever they need it.

Registered Public Mode

Created for controlled environments such as private facilities or coworking spaces, this mode allows pre-approved users to select and manage their own lockers through the ECHO app. By combining flexibility with security, it lets organisations maintain control while giving users the freedom to handle their storage with ease.

Whether it’s managing short-term needs or providing dedicated storage, ECHO adapts to deliver convenience, security and sustainability at every step.
